Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 medium yellow onions, finely chopped
- 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 poblano peppers, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 Anaheim peppers, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1½ teaspoons chili powder
- ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 3 (15-ounce) cans cannelini beans, rinsed, drained, and divided
- 3 cups chopped cooked chicken
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ½ cup heavy cream
- :
- Lime wedges

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until it is shimmering. Add the onions, peppers, cumin, chili powder, paprika, cayenne and ½ teaspoon of the salt. Cook until the vegetables have softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add the flour and stir until no raw flour remains and it emits a nutty aroma, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in the chicken stock. Add 1 can of the beans and, using a potato masher, mash the beans in the pot, creating a thicker texture.
- Stir in the remaining beans, the chicken, lime juice and remaining salt, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and warm for an additional 5 minutes. Serve immediately with additional lime wedges, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, cilantro or sour cream. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
